After 14-year-old Jack Carroll introduced himself to last night's judges on "Britain's Got Talent," the next words out of his mouth had them and the audience in hysterics. This was before the comedian with Cerebral Palsy even started his routine. Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon all said, "yes" at the end of his time. David Walliams, a comedian, called Jack a "comedy genius."

Here is the official synopsis of the clip thanks to the "Britain's Got Talent" YouTube page:

"ROFL! Comedian Jack Carroll is declared funnier than David!

Despite fearing he was being thrown to the lions, teenage comedian Jack Carroll had the audience rolling in the aisles from the moment he stepped onto the stage.  Check out why David pronounced him a "comedy genius" for his bold, brand of self-deprecating humor."

In the brief introduction interview clip before his comedy routine, Jack's humor shines. He says that he does not want his Cerebral Palsy to be "the elephant in the room," and instead pokes fun at himself about it. "A lot of times in comedy, your weaknesses are your strengths," Jack tells said before his routine.

His jokes were mainly centered on his Cerebral Palsy, and as he explained in his interview, it put the audience at ease. His first joke really got everyone laughing:

"Don't worry, I know what you're thinking: Harry Potter's had a nasty quidditch accident."

As you watch the clip, you can hear audible laughter coming from the judges. When Jack finished his routine, he received a standing ovation from everyone in the crowd as well as the audience. Then each judge gave him a "yes." David Walliams even told Jack that he is not as funny as the 14-year-old.

Here is the clip of Jack's perfect delivery and amazing sense of humor:
